With growing demand for premium ad placements and trusted inventory, Novicue rolls out an essential audio inventory checklist to help advertisers secure the right inventory at the right price. 

Inventory quality issues have been a major concern for advertisers for a significant duration. Audio advertisers often face challenges like invalid traffic, brand safety risks, and frequency capping issues despite going programmatic. Programmatic advertising does streamline the buying process and improve scale, but it doesn’t eliminate all inventory concerns. 

To make it easier for advertisers to ensure their spending reaches real, relevant, and engaged audiences, Novicue has released a checklist of factors advertisers must evaluate before purchasing inventory. The key pointers of the audio inventory checklist include: 

Audience and context alignment: Novicue’s audio inventory checklist emphasises focusing on audience and context alignment before settling for an inventory. Advertisers must focus on if the inventory's audience matches the target demographic and psychographic profile for their campaign. The inventory’s contextual relevance, that is, the audio content environment, should also match with their brand’s message. 

Ad tech capability: Beyond targeting, the ad tech capabilities of the platform providing the inventory are another crucial factor to evaluate. Advertisers should prioritise platforms that have the tools and technology to automate real-time bidding and audience targeting and optimise the campaigns with efficiency. 

Inventory quality and brand safety: Equally important is ensuring inventory quality and brand safety. The evaluation for brand safety and quality can be done with check tools to detect fraudulent activity and can prevent the ads from being advertised next to false or misleading content. 

Budget efficiency factors: Advertisers must ensure that the inventory price aligns with expected outcomes and the overall campaign budget. The cost should remain justifiable within the broader advertising spend. 

Performance and measurement tools: Investing in inventory without access to reliable measurement tools can significantly compromise campaign performance.

Advertisers should prioritise inventory sources that not only provide data but also offer transparent, timely, and actionable reporting. 

All these factors are must-haves for advertisers looking for high-quality inventory but are not easily accessible. While few platforms meet all these standards, Novicue’s SSP was designed with these exact priorities in mind—premium publishers, brand safety, precise targeting, and real-time insights. To know more about the inventory quality features of Novicue’s SSP, click here.
